Hello!!

Hello and welcome to the LeFrois St. neighborhood blog space. As this is my first posting, I would like to tell you what I hope this blog will become...
1) A space to inform you, the reader, about things that's happening around our 'hood.
2) A space to share all the wonderful things that make up our 'hood!
That's it! Wasn't that easy? Here's what I would NOT like this blog to be...
1) A space that overly political
2) A space that promotes anger and hatred
3) A space that doesn't highlight all the potential that our neighborhood and it's residents have!

So let's begin...
As we begin to switch from the very hot temperatures of the summer months to the cooler, and in my opinion, more friendly temps of fall, I invite you all to take a walk around our streets and meet some of your fellow neighbors that are out walking pets, playing with their kids, or maybe getting the gardens ready for winter. We have some homes in the area that have recently been purchased and this is a great time to meet our new neighbors. Invite them over for coffee, or better yet, invite them to our next block club so that we can all introduce ourselves to them! What a great way to welcome them to the neighborhood! Our next meeting will be on Oct. 23rd at 7 PM in room A/C of the Wilson Health Center.
We still have some energy saving light bulbs left over from our "Light up the Night" program that was started earlier this year. In case you don't know, this was a program that was started to light up our streets and keep our neighborhood safer. We encourage you to use the bulbs in front of your house during the overnight hours. These spiral bulbs use less energy than the regular incandescent bulbs you are familiar with, using only 13 watts of energy to power the 60 watts it omits. If you would like a bulb, please see me at our next meeting.
To close, I would like to thank you for reading this blog. Please keep checking for future blogs as I hope to have one listed soon!
Your neighbor,
Kisha
